A FAMOUS EXPLORER.
I The Career, Achievements and Drath of
V*lu« Behring.
It is now just twenty years sineeour
Government bonfflit of Russia all her
I possessions on this continent. Since
I that purchase Alaska Jias been ina<le
I familiar to ns in the reports of officials,
of scientific explorer-, of traders and
<>f tourists. The earlier history of the
Territory is full of interest, for it is
i marked by ntidertaking's of the most
intrepid during and of heroic advent
ure. That was a bold plan that
directed from S‘. Petersburg an ex
pedition across the north of Asia, the
building <.f vesseN on the Eastern
• oast, and the discovery of a separate
. lontinent on the opposite side of the
Pacific. That plan was formed in the
: mind of Peter ths Great, and it was
carried into execution by Behring,
whose name has since been connected
i with the sea and the strait which lie
between the continents.
Vitus Bdiriug (Bering) was a Dane.
He was born at the village of H<>rsen.
Jutland, in As a young man. he
i sailed in D>ni-*h vessels to the East
and West Indies. In 1706 he entered
the service of Peter the Great, and was
a signed to the navy which had just
liecn built at Cronstadt. The appoint
ment of Bebrfng to the command of a
I scientific expedition in the Sea of
Kamschatka was made January 29,
1725. O.i the sth of February Behring
started from Sr. Petersburg, and three
days later his imperial master died.
So difficult was the journey overland
that it was not until the summer of
the following year that Behring, with
the advance detachment, reached the
Sea of Ochotsk. Behling then built
a boat to carry the party over the sea.
He hail br< tight men from Russia for
’ this purpose. The craft was christened
the Fortin e The last of June. 1727.
it < arried over to Kamchatka the sli*,>—
builders who were to build the vessel
intended for the great voyage.
Their shi|>-vai’d was established at
the month of the Kamschatka river. The
t ext winter was spent in preparing
timbers for the vessel, and on the 20th
<f July, 1725. it was ready for the
voyage. Three years ami a half had
gone bv since Behring and his party
had si t out from St. Petersburg. The
Gabriel—for that was the name of the
ship—sailed northeast along the coast
of Asia. Oil the 10th of August
the I-land of St. Lawrence was discov
ered. Five days later they ropnded
a cape in latitude 67 deg. IS min.
north. Here the coast line turned
1 slid lenly to the west Behring had
proved that the continents were sepa
rate. The party returned to the ship
yard and wintered there. On the sth
of June. 1729. they left again on a
rovage of exploration, but wore un
successful, and Behring returned over
land to St. Petersburg.
It was not until 1732 that proposals
were made for another expedition.
Anna was now E npress, and she was
ambitious to extend the boundaries of
Russia. She directed that special at
| teution be given to the possibilities of
a northeast passage along the Amer
ican coast. Behring's plan was to
push across to the coast of America,
and trace it northward to the strait he
had discovered. The plan gave B liring
her po-s.'ssions iu America. The party
leftS:. Petersburg call; hi 1733 They
built two vessels on the Sea of Ochotsk.
Seven years had been spent when, in
the St. Peter and the St. Paul, they
sail d over to Kamschatka ami win
; tered there. On the 4h of .Line, 1741,
Behring started on bis last voyage. He
, was in command of the St. Pete.. July
IK the American coas’ was sighted in
latitude 5S deg., 2K min. north. Thcj
followed the dangerous coast to the
west, meeting head-winds all the time.
Scurvy broke out. and B bring was
confined to his cabin. A council was
held, and it was resolved to return to
Kanischaika. The St. Paul was lost.
On the 4th of November an island was
sighted—the last discovery Behring
: was to make. It was named for him.
Here they landed for winter quarters.
. The commander was carried on shore
: November 9, and he died December
i 19. The survivors of that winter built
a boat from the wreck of ’be St. Peter,
■ and they reached Kamschatka on the
27th of August, 1742. Youth's Com

His First I’ubli'.hed poem and the Frienc
It Brought Him.
Whittier began to rhyme very early
and kept his gift a secret from all ex
cept his oldest sister, fearing that his
father, who was a prosaic man. wouh
think he was wasting lime. He wrott
under the fence, in the attic, in tin
barn—wherever he could escape ob
servation; and as pen an I ink wen
not always available, he sometime:
used chalk, and even charcoal. Grea
was the surprise of the family w hen
some of his verses were unearthed
literally linear.lied, from u 'der a heaj
of rubbish in a garret; but his fathe:
frowned upon thesj evidences of th)
bent of his mind, not out of kindness
but because he doubted the sufficiency
of the boy’s education for a literary
life, ami did not wish to inspire hiti
with hopes which might never be ful
filled.
His sister hail faith in him, neverthe
less and, without his knowledge, sht
sent one of his poems to the editor ol
the Free Press, a newspaper pttblishei
in Newburyport. Whittier was helping
his father to repair a stone wall by tin
roadside, when the carrierflu ; gacopy
ol the paper to him, and, unconsciotti I
that any thing of his was in it, hi
opened it and glanced up and dowt
the columns. His eyes fell on somi
verses called “The Exile’s Depart
tire;"
Fond scenes which delighted my youthful e:
istence.
With feelings ot sorrow I bid ye adieu—
A lasting adieu; for now, dim in the distance
The shores of Kibernia recede from m;
view.
Farewell to the cliffs, tempest-beaten an<
gray.
Which guard the loved shores of mj- own na
live land;
Farewell to the village and ssil-shaddwed buy
The forest-crowned hill and the water washe<
strand.
His eyes swam; it v as his own poem
the first he ever had in print.
‘ What is the matter with thee?” hi:
father demanded, seeing how dazed h«
w:t«; but, though he resumed his work
on the wall, he could not speak, an<
he had to steal a glance at the papei
:ig dti before he could convince him
self that lie uas nut dreaming, Sun
enough, the |x>cin was there with hi:
initial at the toot of it—“W., Haver
hill, June 1, 1826.” and, better still,
this editorial notice: "If •W.,’ a
Haverhill, will continue to favor u.‘
with pieces beautiful as the one In
serted in our poetical department ol
to-day, we shall esteem it a favor.”
The editor thought so much of "Th<
Exile’s Departure.” and some otl:e>
verses wh.ch followed it front the sam<
hand, that he resolved to make th<
acquaintance of his new contributor
and he drove over to seo him

PROFIT IN GEESE.
A Few Words About the Mort Remunera
tive of All Fowls.
It is considere<l by some that geese
are the most profitable of domesti
cated fowls that farmers can keep. 1
agree with this, provided the fanner
has a place adapted to keep them,
otherwise 1 should not. Geese, like
turkeys, require considerable range in
order to thrive, especially when young
and growing. They should be fed
two or three times a day on corn or
corn douglj, until they get enough of
fresh or young grass to continue their
growth steadily, and all the time have
free access to living water. For a
flock of thirty, say twenty-six gos
lings and four old geese, they should
have a range of twenty acres, though
the}’ would not require all the feed
that might grow thereon, as other ani
mals that will feed after them can be
kept also. Whether they are kept on
a less or grea'er area, there should lie
and must be fresh or living water
with a brook or pond continually for
them to wash in as often as they de
sire. Unless this be the case they will
soon get lousy, begin to droop their
wings, pine iway and die, though
this can lie partially averted by daily
feeding on corn or dough.
It is seldom that young goslings are
subject to any disease, and they are
quite sure to live with ordinary care;
yet they are very tender until they ar
rive at maturity, and are affecled by
disease, when it attacks them, quite as
soon as any other domesticated fowls.
A heavy rain upon a brood of young
goslings, unprotected, will be as sure
death to them as it would upon a
brood of young chickens; while a light
warm rain or a pond of water is hap
piness perfected to them and but little
less to an observer.
(teese are not only kept for the
market, or for their flesh, but as well
for their feathers. They generally begin
laying the latter part of February, or
the first part of March, and usually lay
every other day, and continue, though
not always regularly, until they have
laid their litter—from ten to twelve
eggs—when they liegin sitting, and in
about thirty days they bring out their
brood.
As soon as the weather is sufficiently
warm or about the time the feathers
begin to start on the goslings, the ol«l
geese should be picked by taking off
all the small or bed feathers, but never
any of the down. Handle the goose
carefully while plucking her feathers.
Never lock her wings in picking, nor
cr mp or bruise them in any way. In
about ten weeks the old geese can and
should lie picked again, anti the gos
lings picked also if they have been
kept as sta ed, or in a thriving condi
tion. Taking this course in the proper
time, or as soon as the feathers have
grown out and matured, old geese can
be picked three times and goslings
twice in a season before shutting up
for fattening, and will, with those
taken off when the gee«e are dressed,
average about one pound of feathers to
a goose. Many are very careless in
picking their geese at the proper time
and in a protx*r manner, while others
do not pick them at all. considering
that they do better in thus doing, or
not doing. This is not the case, as 1
know by actual trial, besides knowing
it to be the experience of others quali
fied to judge. When geese are in
jured in picking it is to be attributed
more and 1 may say wholly to the
improper time and manner in which
they are picked rather than because
they are picked. Cor. Farm and

FEEDING LIVE-STOCK.
rha Mathod Adopted by • SucoaMful New
England Farmer.
On nearly every farm there is to be
'ound hay, straw, corn fodder and
ilher things which do not find ready
sle. These fodders are deficient in
he albuminoids. If we try to feed a
roung growing animal of five hundred
sounds weight on meadow hay alone
ve should have to feed him 37 j pounds
t day to supply the needed flesh-form
ng substance, while we should be
ceding an excess of six pounds of
■arbo-hydrates, which would be worse
han wasted, taxing the digestive or
gans to do an amount of work of no
senefit.
Clover, Hungarian, bean vines, and
die beans themselves are, as a rule,
svor-supplied with flesh-forming ele
ments, and oftentimes good results
•nay be obtained by a mixture of these
.wo kinds of fodder. I would advise
svery farmer to grow all the Hunga
rian and clover possible for home feed
ng. Shorts are peculiarly adapted
for milch cows, as they contain a large
amount of phosphate. They are bet
ter than mill feed or middlings. Cows
ionic times gnaw old boards and bones
rm account of a lack of phosphate in
their food. A ration of shorts daily
for a few weeks will entirely slop this
habit
Manure is move or less valuable in
sxact ratio to the kind of food and the
animal that produces it. Young graz
ing cattle fed on cheap hay ami no
grain make very poor manure. From
milch cows fed in a liberal manner
and often on heavy grain rations, a
good amount of rich manure is ob
tained. All of our cheap fodders are
of httle value for manure. Thus a ton
of oat-straw is worth but $3.50, while
linseed and cottonseed are valued at
820 to $25 a ton. Hence we see it is
well to look at this feature of the case
before buying our supply of grain.
Caro of stoek lias much to do with
the result. Study them cb sely, seo
what they require, and use common
sense in supplying it. F sed only at
regular times, and two feeds a day is
better than three. It is the nature of
our neat stock to eat large quantities
of food very rapidly, and then to lio
down and remasticate it. I have fol
lowed this method for the past five
seasons, and to much benefit.
I would water directly after they sro
done eating, as they will drink better
at this time; although those who, like
myself, feed ensilage, will find that
once a day will be ns often as they
will drink. If you compel your stock
iu drink water down to freezing, you
must remember that enough food must
l>e consumed to warm this water >o
blood heat, ami as a cow will often
drink ten or twelve gallons a day,
which must all be raised from a tent
pet ature of thirty-two degrees upto
nine y-eight degrees, we see what a
quantity of food will be required. This
also applies to cold stables. If your
cows slack up during a cold spell, it is
due to the fact that the food has been
used to keep up the temperature of the
anint al.
The grinding of ten bnshels of corn
on the car costs 75 cents, and it would
shell out five bushels, which lean have
ground for 30 cents. I pay 45 cents
for grinding 80 pounds of cobs, or
$11.25 per ton, which is too much. It
is claimed that cob meal is as good ns
the clear meal. Perhaps it is, but the
cobs are not worth more than*sß a ton,
and are less than one-fourth the weight
of the meal. I think the effect is most
mechanical, and that as good results
may bo obtained by a mixture of shorts
or other bulky feed.
I have adopted this plan: To n mix
ture of eight bushels of corn and four
of oats ground together, I put 200
pounds of shorts mid 200 pounds of
cottonseed meal, which arc thorough
ly mixed. By this method the meal is
divided up and it is Letter to feed,
especially if you depend on help who
would as soon feed one cow all shorts
and another clear cottonseed as to
give the proper amount of each.—X

EDUCATING COLTS.
A Work for Which the Winter Months
Afford Ample Opportunity.
The earlier ihu training of the horse
begins, the easier it is accomplished
and the more thoroughly the lessons
are learned. There is, of course, a
difference in the intelligence possessed
by horses, just as there is in people,
and some colts learn much faster than
others, but at the same time the readi
ness with which they learn what is
wanted of them depends in a great
measure, upon the skill and methods
oft ho man who does the training. In
careful, patient hands a high mettled
colt may lie trained so that he can ba
safely trusted u dor almo-t any cir
cumstances, while a man who is care
less and without discretion ruins him.
As a rule, not enough attention is
given to accustoming the colt to sights
and sounds that he may be influenced
by when put to work. Especially is
this the case on the farm, where the
“breaking" of the young h>>rso to har
ness is put off until he is old enough to
be put to wo- k. and as soon ns he has
learned to go a’ong quietly his educa
tion is consid< red completed. When
such a horse j. .-•’id to go to a town or
large city, the surroundings are so
different .rom what he has been
familiar with on the farm, that he is
constantly bcingfrlghtened and can not
be regarded a safe horse, either for
driving purposes or slots work.
A different method of training would
have made him quite different He
should be taught while yet in the barn
on the farm, to allow the dangling of
harness, etc., about his heels, and then
in case, when on the road, some acci
dent happens which brings the whiff! ■-
tree or the vehicle against him, he will
not be so apt to become frightened and
runaway. It is a good plan to bear
in mind what may be his surroundings
when he leaves the fnnn, and prepare
him for these by carefully bringing
him in contact with untoward sights
and sounds until he learns that no
harm need be feared from them. IVliile
doing this, however, great caution
should be used that the colt does not
become frightened and get away. The
winter months afford an opportunity
for this work, when there is frequently
time that may be devoted to it without
interfering with duties that, during
other seasons of the year, demand so
much time.-- National Live-Stuck Jour

THE OPIUM HTBIT.
The Most Abject of Slaveries—ls There
Any Emancipator?
The New York papers lately published a
very pathetic etory about a ‘very popular
jmotioual actress. It was to the effect that
the hail become a confirmed victim of the
mium habit, involving an almost Vital loss
if physical and mental powers, and actual
lestitution.
The story was at once denied by her
friends, who say she has suffered simply
from nervous prost ration, is in no need of
pecuniary aid, and is on the waytosisiedy
recovery.
Opium victims are usually hopeless, help
less slaves, mind weakened, lacking energy
for any effort toward recovery, rapidly
drifting into imbecility and untimely
graves.
A peculiar feature is that victims craftily
conceal it from their nearest friends. A
young lady at school near Philadelphia was
recently found to bo secretly addicted to it,
keeping her “medicine” in a school-room
inkstand, and injecting the liuid into
her arm with a stylograpluc pen!
In the Chicago r <l. m /nW a .<l Utockman,
September 24, ls*7, is this letter signed H.
T. 0., from Barstow, Ky.: “I missed th©
paper that had my letter in. so I did not
know that you made the request to know
tvhat it was 1 used to break up the mor
phine habit, until I got a letter from a gen
tleman asking information. 1 should have
answered sooner. It was Warner’s safe
sure. 1 should have given It when I wrote
the letter, but it 'ooked too much like an ad
vertisement.”
This voluntary statement goes to confirm
the claim made oy the proprietors of War
ner’s safe cure, that it is the only remedy in
t io world which has any decided power over
diseases of the kidneys and liver, and that
this terrible habit can not bo cured until
these organs have first been restored to full
health, because they are the ones chiefly af
fected toy this drug.
Editor Wm. A. Bode, of Alton, 111., was
sompletely. cured of the opium habit, ac
quired by long use in a painful malady,
with Warners safe cure. It can not be
cured at all if the kidneys and liver are dis
eased.
It Is not claimed that there is any thing
in Warner's safe cure atont which will do
away with the habit, except that it puts the
kidneys and liver in a healthy condition,
giving the whole system that strength and
tone without which any attempt to throw
off the habit would be vain.
It is because physicians have discovered
that no other remedy is so beneficial in re
storing health to the liver, kidneys and gen
eral system as the one stated that it litis
come into general use in connection with
the special remedies for the cure of the
dreadful opium habit.
Ono of the worst features of the opium
habit is tho deadening of mental and moral
sensibilities in proportion as it weakens the
physical system and tho will power.

Women In Public Life.
Women in politics have always been
more or less conspicuous in this coun
try. Perhaps of late years they have
become more noticeable in this respect.
The history of Andrew Jackson's Ad
ministration is a proof of how much
trouble between political friends can be
caused sometimes innocently by a
woman’s personality. Kate Chase
Sprague was at one time a power in
Washington, before whom great states
men bowed, and she was the support
upon which her father leaned during
all tho years when he toiled upwards
with longing eyes towards the Presi
dency which he never reached. John
A. Logan’s wife, with her bright face
and white hair, outlined against the
dark, burly personality of her husband
will always be a renumbered figure in
National politics. Had he lived she
would have continued her ceaseless
struggle to make him President and
she would have kept up her unchang
ing custom of finding new friends daily
for her husband among the politicians
visiting Washington. Mrs. Hayes made
herself quite a conspicuous character
during her husband's term of oilice,
and though she was a modest, shrink
ing little woman, who hail no love for
public affairs, she was credited with
managing a good part of the Govern
ment business for her easy-going hus
band. These are only a few instances
out of the hundreds where women have
within the last few years impressed
their personality on political affairs in
this country. If the full truth were
written about the history of legislation
in Washington it might be amazing to
note how much of women's influence
and women's work run through the
whole network of our National affairs
and Government.— New York Graphic.
Raw I’ork Habit.
St. Janies Gazette: A man dying of
triehinosia inspires, like every unfor
tunate wretch,a .•ertain degree of pity.
But, judged on moral grounds, lie can
scarcely be placed on a higher level
than the man dying of delirium tre
mens; and, as a matter of fact, better
men have died of the insidious alcohol
ic “germ” than of the germs that in
fest the flesh of pigs, What there can
lie so seductive iu pork—and raw jiork,
above all—that sensible people, as Ger
mans in general must surely be con
sidered. should devour it uncooked and
uncured, it is hard indeed to imagine.
The Germans, however, arc so much
addicted to this kind of food that whole
families, whole populations, will some
times fall ill from morbid indulgences
in it; ami it is reported from Hamburg,
where raw pork is consumed (by the
inhabitants) in dangerously large
quantities, that on Sunday night, in
one family alone, nine persons were
Buffering from trichinosis.
The origin of trichinosis has been
fantastic:? v traced to a certain herd of
swine, n< ill of which “ran down a
steep place into the sea.” The fiends
which tiil the swine whose flesh pro
duces in those who eat of it the disease
now affecting the inhabitants of Ham
burg, where a “severe outbreak” of it
is said to have taken place, are named
“trichinre.” They can be driven out
by lire, which proves that there is
nothing esssentially diabolical in their
nature. But the Germans, who refuse
to cook their ham, do not think it
worth while to expel them.

The Wire of a Russian Priest.
There is on) one happy woman in
Russia—the priest's wife—and it is a
common mode of expression to say “as
happy as a priest's wife ” The reason
why she is so happy is because her
husband's position depends upon her.
If she dies he is deposed and he
becomes a mere layman, and his
property is taken away from him and
distributed, half to his children and
half to his Government. The dreadful
contingency makes the Russian priest
careful to get a healthy wife, if he can, I
and makes him take extraordinary i
good care of her after he has secured ;
her. He waits upon her in the most
abject way. She must never get her j
feet wet. and she is pettej and put
in hot blankets if sue has so much as
a cold in her head. It is the greatest
possible good fortune for a girl to i

be the wife of a noble.

Flirtation is not a French pastime,
says Max O’Rell, A few married
women may indulge in it. but girls, I
whatever may be said to the contrary, i
never do. A woman who flirted would i
pass in France for giddy, not to say
fast; she knows tier countrymen too
well for that. She is aware when she
coquets with them what she is exposing
herself to. If French girls felt inclined
for a little flirtation how could they in
dulge in it? Good heavens! What
would her mother and father say if they
saw her takiug a walk by herself
during the day—if it came to their
knowledge that a young man had actu
ally dared to whisper words of love
into her ear before he had laid bare his
heart and made a clear statement of his
finances to them in the first place?
Even when he has obtained the consent
of the parents and his visits to the
house where his fiancee resides are per
mitted, the young couple are not
allowed to sec each other even for a
moment without the presence of a third
party, and the little intimacies and ect
, dearments which in America arc
' deemed harmless are in France rigor
i ously banished and forbidden. The
I pleasant operation familiar to English
I lovers by the term of “spooning” is ab
solutely unknown to courtship as prac
ticed in France.
An I'ulovely Character.
An experience with a woman who
makes life a burden to everybody about
I her by her relentless insistence on con
tinual flattery as the price us peace in
■ her house is thus discussed by the New
i York Graphic: She has a painful doubt
as to whether she is the most lovable
! being on the globe. She insists that
I everyone who comes within range shall
; contribute to strengthen her wavering
' conviction on this point. Any conversa
tion in her presence that does not feed
■ it wounds it. You cannot dismiss Mr.
' Brown's pretty conservatory because
I that is reflecting on madam's house
plants; you can’t speak of Mrs. Green's
beautiful housekeeping because madam
straightway pouts, because you are in
timating that she is not domestic. The
thing that every young girl ought to be
taught first, last, and all the time as a
recipe for social success is to appear tv
eft'ace herself.

Ringing Noises
In Hie ears, sometimes a roaring. • uzzlng
sound, or snapping like the report ol a pis
tol. are caused by catarrh, that exceeding’..'
disagreeable and very common disease.
Loss of smell or hearing also result irom ca
tarrh. Hood’s KareaparUlo, the great blood
purifier, Is a peculiarly successful remedy
for inis disease, which It cures by purifying
the blood. If you suffer from catarrh, try
Hood's Sarsaparilla, the peculiar medicine.
“1 used Hood’s Sarsaparilla for catarrh,
and received great relief and benefit from it.
; The catarrh was very disagreeable, eepe
i dally In the winter, causing coast mt dis
charge from n-.y nose, ringing noises in my
ears, and pains in the back of ray head. The
effort to dear my head in the morning by
hawking and spitting was painful. Hood's
Sarsaparilla gave me relief Immediately,
! while in time I was entirely cured, lam
never without the medicine in my house as
I think It is worth its weight in gold.”
